    Correct me if I’m wrong, since I’m a bit tired for parsing through the deliberately opaque wall of legalese and buzzword bullshit, but is this android api basically their way of killing YouTube frontends such as NewPipe, SmartTube and LibreTube to force their dystopian adscape on all of us again?

      No it’s a browser API backed by the OS that could kill all open OSes and make sites have increasingly strict DRM.
